After that incident, two month has passed. The past two month is passed with normal activity, some study, going to Gracia Continent to hunt, colecting 'Point', improve formation, and avoiding Iroha challenge. It seems that red haired girl is quite persistent and energic. When Arya is still training his soldier, she appear from nowhere and sheating her big sword while chasing him around.

Another problem is the bullies, one day, they manage to find Arya and his soldier in forest and try to attack them with their soldier and just getting masacre by them. Because Arya know the forest terrain and make that to their advantage. Using Ambush, they able to sweep the bullies.

But, the bullies bought another soldier and trying to ambush Arya and his soldiers, and getting destroyed again instead.

The day passed like that and two month has passed in a flash. But Arya soldier is keep improving in battle. With Rana help and aknowledge about magic, they able to aim for magical enemy. While Martha able to calm herself, she able to take control of her Talons division. Although her medicine supply mysteriously depleted in just few days, and make Arya always supply the medicine each days, somehow Airi started to confused why does Martha supply is always empty ? But because her master didn't say anything she just let is pass.

The other is have different growth, Lina and Lisa is the one that have good change. Because they always attacking in coordinated form that different from other, Arya started to change their weapon to sword or dagger and the change is quite shocking.

Using their small body, they slip from enemy line of vision and slice both of the enemy feet, when its drop in the ground they attacking while running around like a fish, the speed and the aim is quite deadly. When Airi ask them where did they having learn that ? They just smile and saying 'Captain !! When attack... see the enemy move and slice...' when Airi stare at her master in eyes that looked like saying. 'What did you teach to a child, Master !?', Arya just shake his head with a cold sweat on his back.

The last girl soldier, Maya is just mood maker. She was the one that able to change the gloomy atmosphere become bright, with a joke and teasing her other comrade, she is the one that make Arya soldier spirit still high when one day they traped in another enemy territory.

Alex, the leader of Wings division with the help from Brandon and Martin, they can do another different defensive formation from Arya command. Using Arya experience when fighting against Graz'zark, he make different move. Jack, the leader of Talons division is able to use different formation and already make in practice. Seeing that Arya started to feel glad they are joining his soldier, no.. Arya glad he able to recruit them. They looked like bunch of kid at first, but now they are veteran soldier.

Arya started to wonder, his soldiers have different personality and skill, how about other champione like him, did they train their soldier like him, make some free atmosphere and checking their own soldier? But its seems that just his worry. When the classmate or other see him talking with his soldier, they stare at him with strange look.

''What is he doing?'' ''Who know, he is crazy. Talking with them like 'normal' people.'' ''Haha... he is mad.'' ''Maybe he was just lonely, talking with 'data' is strange.'' ''Yeah, they just soldiers, their aim just to protect us. A meat shield.''

And another comment like that. Arya just sighs while holding the furious Airi in check.

Somehow they able to survive, but the most terifiying thing just going to happen. The strong boss, the enemy that make the students roll on the ground while holding their head in frustation, the Exam.

''Ah students it was already two month, I hope you keep study and read more book. In one week we are going to do Exam.''

With a smile on his face, Mr. Black saying that while in the middle of his explanation about Anchore. Like the lightning strike the ground, the classmate started to make a sudden uproar. Well, that was because when the teacher make some explanation, the other just showing relaxed expression while chating and asking about their hunt and soldier, not even make a notice about the study content, well, that was just some people that trying hard to focus and to take a note.

''What, Exam!?'' ''Why did this school have exam too!?'' ''Ah, I will just answer this and that~'' ''Am I dreaming?'' ''Nooo... not Exam..!!'' ''Is this a joke..''

The other make a comment and throw their disapprovement, but the next sentence from the Mr. Black make them shut and started to pale.

''Is that so? You, here is to help us improve the Anchore, if you all didn't like it how about I call your parent to take you home? Originally, the Exam is created to make you improve too, you know... This Exam will determined to increase your soldier capacity, so depend how much you have a score in this exam the more soldier you can have. If you able to get 100 so your soldier will increase to 100 too. Moreover, if you want to join Tournament or All-of War battle, atleast you must have 60 soldier.''

Depend on how much you get the score you can get more soldier! It was good news for some student, and hell for the other.

''Hey Arya-san, let have a match! Who will get the first rank!''

Iroha declared her challenge once again to Arya from the seat beside him. Seeing her shining eyes and the smile, Arya make a frown.

''Heh? Aren't you already challenge me before.''

''No you must accept this one! You never listen to me before!''

''No. Thank you... hey... don't stare me like that! Fine, I accept!''

With a bright smile, she sit back to her seat in pleasant expression.

''Look, they started again.'' ''Heh, what a troublesome couple.'' ''Agreed, it was a bad news and they make this to make pink atmosphere..'' ''Isn't this the 120'th time?'' ''I don't know, but they always so close.'' ''A wife and husband, always make a comotion.''

'Wait a sec, who is making a pink atmosphere !? And we're not a couple !? We aren't married!?'

''N,no... W,what are you talking about..!''

'Iroha-san, don't just saying a small voice while turning your head away...!'

Arya holding his head in depresion, it was right that Iroha always come to him to make a challenge, but the other classmate look at them in envy, admiration, and shock. Iroha staring at him with cold gaze and always make Arya surrender.

Without notice, the Exam day is passed. When the Exam started, Arya surrounding look so gloomy and dark. Steeling his heart, he ignore the depresion classmate and answering his own.

Right now, Alicia, Arya, Charles, and Edward is standing in front of the huge board in school yard with the other crowd

''Hey hey... I got 85 score...!''

''Congratulation, Charles..''

''Thank you Alicia, you got 100 right, and get the 2nd place too? How about you Edward?''

''....50, damn it. The math one is quite annoying.. hm? What are you searching Arya?''

''....Ah no, nothing.''

Edward seeing Arya that looking around like searching for something asking him, but Arya just sigh while shaking his head and look at the board.

''So what is your score? I bet you get below 60.''

''Don't joke around, I am not like you. You sloth.''

''Damn you, Arfools..''

''Hey hey, look Arya got the first place in his class!''

''Oh, it was 100 too, you are good, Arya.''

When Edward hear that, he turn his head toward the one that pointed by Charles. And he look a that with shocked expression, when he hear smirk he lock Arya neck before he escape. ''Damn you... why didn't you teach me. You Arfools..!!''

''E,Edward stop that... look, his face turned blue!''

''Hihihi... he looks like a zombie..''

With the help from Alicia, Arya manage to save his lives and dropped in 4 while he glare at Charles. Before long, the parfume smell is tickle his nose and he raise his head. A red haired girl standing in front of him, because of the angle he stand with jump. When he look closely, Iroha shoulder is trembling with her head lowered down.

Because she just stands there in silence, Arya tilts his head and going to ask.

But, Iroha suddenly raises her head and make Arya jump in surprise. She grabs his shoulder and closes her face.

''..How, how did I lose..! Are you cheating?''

''W,what? Of course not! And you are too close!''

''What!?''

When she yelling at Arya, she didn't notice that her face is so close that their nose almost touched. With a blush, she leaps backward.

''You.You.You...''

''Ah, Iroha-chan what are you doing~ Hurry~''

Before she can finish her sentence, another voice calling her, when they turn their head, another 3 girl and 1 boy with black hair standing 5 meter away. A girl with short black hair calling Iroha while waving her hand. With a sigh, Iroha turn her body while staring at Arya for few second with puffed cheeks and approaching her friend.

''S,So, you really get a girlfriend Arya?''

''Hey hey, Arya is she finally yours~''

''Damn you Arfools... Huh-Waa... that's dangerous!'' 

''Shut up! And Charles what do mean by that!''

When the three of them said their word, no before Edward can finish his sentence, a fast punch already in front of his face but with nimble move he able to dodge it. And with blush face Arya started to change the topic.

''Cough.. Anyway, the one that teach me some subject about Anchore, and Gracia is Airi you know..''

''What, don't tell me, she is wearing tight female office and teach you ?''

''Hey hey, Arya isn't she good with sailor uniform?''

''No, she is wearing sexy nurse uniform.... NO YOU ARE WROOOONG.!!''

''Gross... boys and their delusions...''

''...Haha, Come on Alicia, we are just kidding you know.''

''Hmmph...''

When Alicia hear the three, she began to distance herself and staring at them with disgust eyes. Seeing that, Arya make another topic.

''A,anyway. What will you fill from another spot? Recruit another Elite soldiers?''

''Hmm... I just have 50, so another batch of Assasin will be good.''

''Yes, I want to increase another magic specialist. How about you Alicia ?''

''Hmm..? I don't know, but if I can I want some range type ? Ah come to think of it. We just notice that the other is gone right ?''

When they look their surrounding, Alicia seems right. At first, there was almost all first year is on this board so it was quite crowded. But, it's now just they 4, alone.

''......''

''This is strange..''

''W,what... are they was kidnaped!?''

''No, its seems all of them is going to Gracia? Isn't the teacher said that when the score is posted, the max soldiers already added. Maybe now they was going to Central Guild to recruit?''

''....''

''This is bad!''

''What is it Edward?''

''Alicia, Edward mean that if all of them going to the Guild, doesn't the talented soldiers already hired?''

''Ah...''

''''.......''''

After Alicia realized that, a silence befall in the surrounding. The one that broke the silence is Edward.

''What are waiting for, let's go..!''

''Ah, wait!!'' With flinging his hands, Charles dashed. 

''...That two is quite energic.'' Alicia staring dead eyes looking at the boys who rushing like there is no tomorrow.

''Ahaha...let's go, Alicia, they will take them all you know...'' With a wry smile, Arya called her while slowly running.

''Y,yes. Umm, Arya?''

Stopped in his track while jogging Arya asked ''What is it?''

''....No, nothing.''

While Alicia shaking her head, she running faster ahead Arya and approaching the two. Because he doesn't know anything, he just sighs and catches them.
